We're working hard to serve victims of economic distress through compassionate outreach and individual advocacy. You can help!
What does "advocacy" look like?
Each "client" we bring on-board is someone we have faith in. We believe they can progress, with help. We believe they have fallen through the cracks in our systems, and need a hand up, not a handout. We believe in change, not charity.
We put our faith in our clients. When we on-board them, we provide them with (as needed): - MVPs (Phone with charger, call/text from any WiFi) - Tents, Sleeping Bags, Tarps / tent flys - Water bottles - Maps (physical and electronic) of local resources - Individualized hygiene and supplement kits - Clean clothing - Laundry and shower once per week (as possible) - Digital document storage and access
And, most importantly, advocacy: - We check in daily, to make sure no emergencies have come up. - We check in in-person, several times a week. - We handle paperwork, mail, and agency interactions. - We facilitate connections with service providers and housing. - We represent clients when authorized and possible. - We stand beside, behind, or in front of, as requested.
